My birthday must have coincided with Good Friday at least twice in this lifetime. I am not sorry that it happened that way. I am quite pleased because I was forced to focus on what is really important on that day. It was so easy not to think about getting old. It was one of the most significant, if not solemn, birthdays I've celebrated.
I've been celebrating my birthday for three days now. I guess people got sad for me because I had to fast and abstain on my birthday. We've celebrated my birthday the whole weekend, even up to Easter. I've been fed well. I've gifted myself well, too.

Easter as you know is a time of renewal. I've made this the starting point of my own personal renewal. I've decided to recondition my life. Here's how.
1) I'll take control of my health. I am starting to feel a lot of aches and pains I haven't felt before.
2) I will start preparing for the future. It is not too late to focus on my work, now that all my children are in school. I still have time to build my retirement fund.
3) A couple of weeks ago, I've decided to remove people and things that do not add value to my life. Time is too valuable to be spent on frivolous things. I do not have time for people who do not appreciate me or who do not value my contribution. From now on, I will love myself more and will only share myself with people who will value my help.
Am I being selfish? I think I've been at the service of other people for a long time. Taking care of myself and valuing my person are the best gifts I can give myself.
